ORIGINAL: jlf1961 That's still an awful lot of bike fer a gurl...... but cool.... Oh fuck that. People should ride something THEY can handle well. If you cannot do a basic 8 maneuver at low speeds in a parking lot without putting your foot down, you're sitting on too much bike, regardless of your gender. And I know faaaaaaaaaar more dudes who cannot really handle their bikes well enough to do their maneuvers with them than I know girls who cannot do the same. You don't need a lot of weight, or a big frame, to handle a big engine. What you need is the skill to actually handle the increased weight of the bike, and it subsequent decrease in maneuverability. Being heavier yourself doesn't give you those things, all it might be able to do is help you fake them as long as you're going straight. FYI, I only say that to rattle her cage, a playful jab at a very good biker, who happens to be a tiny little thing.
